I don't know.. I hope so. Although I haven't spent much time on Gnatterbox of late.. it is my spiritual home :D .. and Gn15 is close to my modelling heart. I recently tried to get in touch with a few old contacts and started reading through Gnatterbox again. next thing you know, I'm fetching out my ...

Boo! Still around.. as to how 'active'.. hmm. Still playing with trains but no Gn15 for ages. I haven't ever ruled it out and lately something has been stirring.. :) http://mogtrains.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/opening-box-gnice-things.html http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2j4-uCEiPp4/VLz4sOqbbQI/AAAAAAAABcw/Xn...

spooky. I haven't looked on Gnatterbox for so long (shame) :oops: The first post I see is Gerry's. I can't believe it's been 6 years. Strangely I just had that ginger-bearded figure out last night.. my daughter was fascinated by the monkey-faced figures..(I feel some Gn15 brewing.) Nice to read thro...

I really like the idea.. haven't had a lot of success as yet though.. perhaps haven't tried hard enough. .. I did have a plan for a 'kit' to make a funicular which I must finish off. There's a guy who appears at local shows showing off O standard gauge stuff built in card. I take it the lacquering e...

Like Michael, I'm catching up.. fascinating thread - really interesting to see such effective use of the textured flats. I had one short lived experiment with florists foam - crumbled to a fine dust that seem to cling to everything.. didn't get on with it - you've definitely made me look again.

Sounds like a plan Colin. For those who haven't been before.. as well as the railway, there is a farm park with plenty of feeding pigs goats and other animals for the littl'uns. I have a sneaky feeling that I might have something on that day but I'll check.. even if I have, I would say 'go for it'.....

I'm a fan of the pva water trick.. used it on Plankerton Wharf too.. just built up a couple of layers ontop of some murky paint. Frustratingly, I saw this thread just a day after a broken up a perfect sheet of polysterene to make wargames hills for Mog Junior..AND I've used up the last of my mountin...

:D I really should drop by the old Gnatterbox more often - I forgot how entertaining your threads are Andy! If you ever wonder if it's worth the time presenting your thought processes to the world the way you do.. yes, it is (despite the entertainment, it's always intriguing to see what you're build...

Wow.. I haven't even been lurking too much of late, and look what I've been missing!
I wish I'd spotted this thread before.. quite tempted to join in..reprise Gnotts Widgets.
Lovely work as usual everyone - Gordon, those textures are great.

The brown ink from GW is useful - staining wood (balsa etc).. also for adding depth to other colours. It is quite strong undiluted. If you are going to try it one of Steve's wooden wagons, should work a treat. One method.. 1. Prime first. I use a grey matt spray 'Plasticote' .. weems to cover more e...
